When I write an article, I usually approach it from place of wanting to share something practical, inspirational, or intelligent that will benefit you. If I achieve this, I consider myself successful, but there is room to grow– to let you in.
If you’ve ever written to me, you know what connection means to me. What I value most is a sense that there’s a net of positive energy circling the world and I know people who populate it.
If you’re a follower on facebook, you see the many members of this energetic net connecting. This is what I love.
Whenever the work, opportunity and excitement quiets, it’s the connection to you that keeps me going. As my site grows and my book launch nears, I sometimes feel uncomfortable. I don’t want to lose the intimacy we have; I want more.
I want you to know that you’re important, of course to All That Is, but also to me. You’re the constant within the chaos, please stay close.
I’m facing new challenges and opportunities. I’m doing more public speaking (ME the girl who gave her 2nd grade report from behind a screen), saying yes to co-creative workshops, and dusting off my SAG (Screen Actor’s Guild) card to explore ways of bringing empowerment to more women.
All of these things scare me and because they do, I HAVE to run towards them. It’s not a choice for me. I refuse to live knowing that something has me cowering in the corner (I’m going to cower in front of the world! I’m kidding!!).
The one thing that lessens the fear is you. I’m grateful.
~ Cynthia
